Fighting advanced malware using machine learning (English)
In this paper, behavioral-based detection powered by machine learning is introduced. As the result, detection ratio is dramatically improved by comparison with traditional detection.
Needless to say that malware detection is getting harder today. Everybody knows signature-based detection reaches its limit, so that most anti-virus vendors use heuristic, behavioral and reputation-based detections altogether. About targeted attack, basically attackers use undetectable malware, so that reputation-based detection doesn't work well because it needs other victims beforehand. And it is a fact that detection ratio is not enough though we use heuristic and behavioral-based detections. In our research using the Metascan, average detection ratio of newest malware by most anti-virus scanner is about 30 %( the best is about 60 %).
By the way, heuristic and behavioral-based detections are developed by knowledge and experience of malware analyst. For example, most analysts know that following features are indicator that those programs are malicious.
- A file imports VirtualAlloc, VirtualProtect and LoadLibrary only and has a strange section name
- An entry point that does not fall within declared text or code section
- Creating remote threads into a legitimate process like explore.exe
- After unpacking, calling OpenMutex and CreateMutex to avoid multiple infections
- Register itself to auto start extension points like services and registry
- Creating a .bat file and try to delete own itself through executing the file with cmd.exe
- Setting global hook to capture keystroke using SetWindowsHookEx
Heuristic and behavioral-based detections are developed based on those pre-determined features like above. Analysts are finding those features day by day. But, this kind of work is not appropriate for human. Therefore we classified programs as malware or benign by machine learning through dynamic analysis results. Thereby, detection ratio is dramatically improved and we could recognize that which features are strongly related to malware by numeric score. And then, we could find the features which we’ve never found by this method. Finally, the outlook and challenges of this method will be tackled.

An Introduction to Malware Classification
With more than 1 million new pieces of malware released every day, security vendors are turning toward machine learning to automate threat detection. This talk aims to give new researchers the background they need for contributing to this field. We'll talk about sources for malicious PE files, consistently top-performing machine learning algorithms, extracting features, and how to prevent overfitting. (20 minute)
Measuring the Actual Security that Vendors Provide to Customers
“There is a desperate need for new standards for today’s anti-virus products. The dominant paradigm, scanning directories of files, is focused on old and known threats, and reveals little about product efficacy in the wild.”
Williamson & Gorelik (2007)
Including security in devops
This document discusses including security in DevOps initiatives. It recommends integrating security tools and practices into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to build security in from the start. This includes running automated vulnerability scanning tools like ZAP and sqlmap in CI/CD pipelines. It also recommends code reviews, security testing, environment hardening, and keeping dependencies up-to-date. The goal is to shift security left and automate security practices to continuously test and deploy more secure software.
Whittaker How To Break Software Security - SoftTest Ireland
The document discusses different approaches to software testing, specifically functional testing versus security testing. It notes that security testing requires thinking about what the software should not do rather than just what it should do. It provides examples of security bugs related to external dependencies, unanticipated user input, vulnerable design, and vulnerable implementation. It advocates using specific security testing techniques to identify these types of vulnerabilities, such as exploring how applications interact with their environment and inputs they may not anticipate. The key takeaways are to consider what should not happen with a program, understand its environment, identify worst-case scenarios, and use attacks and tools commonly used by hackers to test for security issues.
Exploiting the Testing System
The document discusses different types of antivirus testing methods and potential ways to exploit weaknesses in those methods. It describes "wildcore" testing using real malware samples and "zoo" testing using large malware collections. It also outlines "retrospective" testing using older signature databases. The document suggests hacks like automatically signing samples, customizing settings, and detecting other antivirus products' false positives to manipulate test results. Feedback from the antivirus industry is mixed, with some condoning common practices while others find them problematic.
Automating networksecurityassessment
The document discusses how network security assessments have traditionally been done manually, which is time-consuming and error-prone. It then describes how Cisco used automation to map their entire global network infrastructure in two weeks. Several case studies are presented that show how automation can efficiently analyze network topology and access, detect vulnerabilities and policy violations, and evaluate proposed configuration changes. Automation provides a consistent, repeatable process for network security that improves visibility, prioritization of issues, and decision making.
Secure lab setup for cyber security
This document outlines plans for setting up a secure cybersecurity lab with three main goals: 1) Support both Windows and Linux systems to emulate a real-world environment, 2) Be able to isolate the lab network from the campus network for exercises, and 3) Provide a mixed-use space for both security exercises and general usage. Key aspects of the lab setup include using virtual machines on physical systems to lower costs, purchasing a managed switch to isolate student workstations, and configuring older or vulnerable operating systems on student systems to simulate real-world targets.
Effective debugging
Oh dear, your application has suddenly stopped working as expected. What should you do now?
Using techniques applicable to any php application, we'll go over what to look for and which problems to avoid when trying to determine where the problem lies. We'll show how to correctly identify and deal with problems including:
* network connectivity
* server config issues
* php config
* WSOD
* common CakePHP application errors
The Future of Automated Malware Generation
The document discusses the current and future states of automated malware generation and malware defense techniques. It describes how malware distribution networks currently work and trends showing rising malware samples. The future of malware defense is proposed to apply more machine learning and statistical techniques to model malware behaviors and attributes in order to handle growing sample volumes. This would involve training machine learning classifiers on features identified by human experts to classify and cluster malware more effectively.

How to automatically analyze potential malware using free services. Original broadcast date: 2008-09-19
David Parnas - Documentation Based Software Testing - SoftTest Ireland
This document discusses documentation-based software testing and testing approaches. It advocates planning testing early and basing tests on documentation prepared throughout the design process. This allows test plans and evaluation to be determined in advance so high quality standards can be enforced on a project. The document also discusses different types of testing like black box, clear box, and grey box testing and notes that while black box testing tests against specifications, knowledge of internal structure can provide better test coverage.
Google, quality and you
This document discusses Google's approach to testing software at different levels. It defines small, medium, and large tests based on their properties. Small tests are unit tests that test individual functions and classes. Medium tests test interactions between modules on a single machine. Large tests are system or integration tests that exercise complete applications and external dependencies. The document emphasizes writing many small tests and using fakes and mocks to isolate dependencies. It also discusses strategies for dealing with flaky tests, such as automatically quarantining flaky tests. Finally, it provides an example of how large tests may work at different stages from development to production.
Semantics aware malware detection ppt
This document presents a technique for semantics-aware malware detection. It aims to design a malware detection algorithm that uses the semantics of instructions to identify malware even after it has been obfuscated. The technique specifies malicious behaviors as templates containing instructions, variables, and symbolic constants. It then uses a formal semantics approach and translation-validation to determine if programs are semantically equivalent and discover malicious programs despite polymorphism or metamorphism techniques used by malware writers. The strengths are robustness to code changes, while limitations include challenges with certain obfuscation techniques.
Malware Analysis as a Hobby
The document notes that manually analyzing malware can be time consuming and boring. MART was created to automate parts of the process such as sample acquisition, analysis using tools like Cuckoo Sandbox, and reporting. This reduces the time spent by malware analysts and allows them to focus on more complex samples. The system also aims to address limitations of virtual machine-based analysis by integrating additional techniques. Overall, MART streamlines malware analysis as a hobby while cutting costs compared to paying for commercial solutions.
Machine Learning for Malware Classification and Clustering
1) Machine learning can be used as a replacement for antivirus software by using statistical techniques to learn patterns from large malware datasets.
2) Boosted decision trees are well-suited for malware classification because they perform like a game of 20 questions to maximize discrimination between malware and benign classes.
3) Features used in machine learning models require a balance between complexity, which provides more information but less explainability, and explainability, which provides insights to analysts but may not help classification.
Fuzzing101 uvm-reporting-and-mitigation-2011-02-10
The document discusses unknown vulnerability management (UVM) which involves detecting vulnerabilities, including zero-days, building defenses, and deploying patches. The UVM process includes attack surface analysis through fuzz testing software, reporting issues found, and mitigating risks through patch verification and IDS rule development. Key challenges are communicating issues without leaks, reproducing bugs easily, and ensuring patches do not introduce new issues.

Watchtowers of the Internet: Analysis of Outbound Malware Communication, Stephan Chenette, Principal Security Researcher, (@StephanChenette) & Armin Buescher, Security Researcher
With advanced malware, targeted attacks, and advanced persistent threats, it’s not IF but WHEN a persistant attacker will penetrate your network and install malware on your company’s network and desktop computers. To get the full picture of the threat landscape created by malware, our malware sandbox lab runs over 30,000 malware samples a day. Network traffic is subsequently analyzed using heuristics and machine learning techniques to statistically score any outbound communication and identify command & control, back-channel, worm-like and other types of traffic used by malware.
Our talk will focus on the setup of the lab, major malware families as well as outlier malware, and the statistics we have generated to give our audience an exposure like never before into the details of malicious outbound communication. We will provide several tips, based on our analysis to help you create a safer and more secure network.
Stephan Chenette is a principal security researcher at Websense Security Labs, specializing in research tools and next generation emerging threats. In this role, he identifies and implements exploit and malcode detection techniques.
Armin Buescher is a Security Researcher and Software Engineer experienced in strategic development of detection/prevention technologies and analysis tools. Graduated as Dipl.-Inf. (MSc) with thesis on Client Honeypot systems. Interested in academic research work and published author of security research papers.
Cyber Defense Forensic Analyst - Real World Hands-on Examples
The document discusses analyzing malware using static and dynamic analysis techniques. Static analysis involves examining a malware file's code and structure without executing it, using tools like disassemblers and string extractors. Dynamic analysis executes malware in a controlled environment to observe its behaviors and any changes it makes. The document then demonstrates analyzing the "Netflix Account Generator" malware using an isolated cloud sandbox, where it is observed starting child processes and making outbound network connections, suggesting it is a remote access trojan.
TestWorksConf: Experience exploratory testing
Exploratory testing is a systematic approach that involves designing and executing tests to learn about a system in parallel. It relies on rigorous analysis techniques and testing heuristics to discover risks. The tester dynamically adapts their approach based on insights from previous experiments to inform future tests. Exploratory testing emphasizes self-directed learning and improving testing skills over time.
Build your own gene panels 2013
This document summarizes a webinar about building custom gene expression analysis panels. It introduces the GNC Pro software for pathway analysis and systems biology. The webinar discusses starting with a seed gene list, expanding the list using interactome data from multiple sources, performing quality control checks, and finalizing the custom gene list. It provides examples of using the process for disease states and pathways. The goal is to help researchers develop the best possible gene list to analyze for their specific biology of interest.
Heuristics of performance testing
Rahul Verma and Pradeep Soundararajan as young kids in testing in 2010 got together in Cuppa, JP Nagar, Bangalore and decided they would spend time together to help themselves and other testers. This is one of the outputs they produced. 2010 it is. Some ideas could be outdated or wrong even for 2010. Use it as a trigger to your own thought process and not as someone gave you something useful. Shared in 2019 when Rahul and Pradeep went back in memory over a beer talking about how did we get to this point of having a beer together after so many years.
Using Vuln Chaining and Other Factors for a Better Risk Perspective
I introduce what I think is a new idea to track and relate vulns to each other in a data store.
In AppSec, most people understand that context is everything when it comes to assigning risk. Certain factors and other vulnerabilities, when combined together, can increase the severity of a vulnerability. Defenders and bug hunters alike help organizations understand a more accurate threat landscape from experience, but it's not something that is well documented. Join Curtis as he discuses this gap and introduces some tools and new resources for vuln chaining.

Docker in Open Science Data Analysis Challenges by Bruce Hoff
Typically in predictive data analysis challenges, participants are provided a dataset and asked to make predictions. Participants include with their prediction the scripts/code used to produce it. Challenge administrators validate the winning model by reconstructing and running the source code.
Often data cannot be provided to participants directly, e.g. due to data sensitivity (data may be from living human subjects) or data size (tens of terabytes). Further, predictions must be reproducible from the code provided by particpants. Containerization is an excellent solution to these problems: Rather than providing the data to the participants, we ask the participants to provided a Dockerized "trainable" model. We run the both the training and validation phases of machine learning and guarantee reproducibility 'for free'.
We use the Docker tool suite to spin up and run servers in the cloud to process the queue of submitted containers, each essentially a batch job. This fleet can be scaled to match the level of activity in the challenge. We have used Docker successfully in our 2015 ALS Stratification Challenge and our 2015 Somatic Mutation Calling Tumour Heterogeneity (SMC-HET) Challenge, and are starting an implementation for our 2016 Digitial Mammography Challenge.
Can we induce change with what we measure?
The document discusses data-driven approaches to optimizing software testing processes at Microsoft. It describes how historical test and code data can be analyzed to determine which tests are most valuable and cost-effective to run, in order to reduce total test execution time without negatively impacting code quality. Simulation results on Windows 8.1 data show the potential for significant test reduction (up to 60%) while maintaining bug finding ability. This could improve development processes by lowering machine costs and increasing developer satisfaction.
Predict Conference: Data Analytics for Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity
Information overload is one of the biggest problems facing professionals working in the fields of Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity. The sheer volume of cases requiring digital forensic analysis in law enforcement agencies throughout the world is outstripping the capacities of digital forensic laboratories. This has resulted in huge digital evidence backlogs becoming commonplace and cases being ruled upon in court without the inclusion of potentially pertinent information, which is sitting idle in some evidence store. As is commonly relayed in the media, the frequency of cyberattacks being faced by governments, law enforcement agencies, and industry is increasing, alongside the sophistication of the techniques used. Current rules-based network intrusion detection systems are predominantly based on historic, known threat vectors and result in a very high amount of false positive alerts being generated. Intelligent, real-time, automated data processing and event categorisation is one solution that shows great promise to combat this information overload.

Software testing overview subbu
Software testing is a process used to identify issues and ensure quality in developed software. It involves techniques like unit testing of individual code components, integration testing of interface between components, and system testing of the full application. While exhaustive testing of all possible inputs is not feasible due to time constraints, techniques like equivalence partitioning, boundary value analysis, and error guessing help prioritize test cases. The goal is to thoroughly test the most important and error-prone areas with the time available.
Showing How Security Has (And Hasn't) Improved, After Ten Years Of Trying
The document discusses the results of fuzz testing software from 2000-2010 to analyze how software security has improved over the last decade. The testing involved fuzzing four file formats (Office, PDF, etc.) across 18 programs from different years. This resulted in over 175,000 crashes. Analysis found over 900 unique bugs. Later versions had fewer exploitable bugs, indicating improving code quality. The results provide a potential "fuzzmark" metric for software security improvements, though comparisons across formats require more controls. The testing process and challenges ensuring data integrity are also outlined.
Mobile Development - Unit and Automation Testing
The document discusses different types of software testing including unit testing. It provides an overview of unit testing, how to write good unit tests, examples of unit testing FizzBuzz and Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock, and how to do unit testing on Android including mocking and test-driven development. It also briefly discusses test automation and using Calabash for cross-platform mobile app testing.

A.为什么留学生需要操作留信认证?
留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径但认证只是个体行为不是所有留学生都操作所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单就有了使用价值。乌龟和王八贼头贼脑的倒也逗人喜爱日上三竿时山娃总爱窜进自家瓜棚里跟小伙伴们坐着聊天聊着聊着便忍不住往瓜田里逡巡一番抱起一只硕大的西瓜用石刀劈开抑或用拳头砸开每人抱起一大块就啃啃得满嘴满脸猴屁股般的红艳大家一个劲地指着对方吃吃地笑瓜裂得古怪奇形怪状却丝毫不影响瓜味甜丝丝的满嘴生津遍地都是瓜横七竖八的活像掷满了一地的大石块摘走二三只爷爷是断然发现不了的即便发现爷爷也不恼反而教山娃辨认孰熟孰嫩孰甜孰淡水
